3. 8 millenuim development goals
• In September 2000, building upon a decade of major
United Nations conferences and summits, world leaders
came together at the United Nations Headquarters in
New York to adopt the United Nations Millennium
Declaration.
• The Declaration committed nations to a new global
partnership to reduce extreme poverty, and set out a
series of eight time-bound targets - with a deadline of
2015 - that have become known as the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs).

4. 1 Eradicate extreme poverty and
hunger
• The global mobilization behind the Millennium
Development Goals has produced the most successful anti-
poverty movement in history, according to UN Secretary-
General Ban Ki-moon.
• The MDG target of reducing by half the proportion of people living
in extreme poverty was achieved in 2010, well ahead of the 2015
deadline.

5. 2 Achieve universal primary
education
• Considerable progress has been made in
expanding primary education enrolment since
1990, particularly since the adoption of the
MDGs in 2000.
• The global number of out-of-school children has fallen
considerably since 1990, although the pace of
improvement has been insufficient to achieve universal
primary enrolment by 2015. Currently, 57 million
children of primary school age are estimated to be out of
school, down from 100 million in 2000. Of these, 33
million are in sub-Saharan Africa, and more than half
(55 percent) are girls.

6. 3 Promote gender equality and
empower women
• Much progress has been made towards women’s
and girls’ equality in education, employment and
political representation, but many gaps remain.
• Since 1995, when the Beijing Platform for Action on
women’s empowerment was adopted, the global average
proportion of women in parliament has nearly doubled,
growing from 11 per cent in 1995 to 22 percent in
January 2015. Women in parliament have gained ground
in nearly 90 percent of the 174 countries for which data
are available for 1995–2015.

7. 4 Reduce child mortality
• Substantial progress in reducing child mortality
has been made, but more children can be saved
from death due to preventable causes.
• Focusing on newborns and reducing socioeconomic
disparities are critical to further accelerate progress in
child survival.
• Under- five mortality rate, 1990 and 2015 (deaths per
1,000 live births)

8. 5 Improve maternal health
• Maternal survival has significantly
improved since the adoption of the
MDGs.
• Southern Asia and Eastern Asia have made the
greatest progress in reducing maternal
mortality. Despite this progress, every day
hundreds of women die during pregnancy or
from childbirth-related complications.

9. 6 Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and
other diseases
• The number of people newly infected with HIV
continues to decline in many regions of the
world.
• Access to antiretroviral therapy has increased at a
remarkable pace, averting millions of deaths.
Unfortunately knowledge of HIV and HIV prevention
remains low among young people.
• Similarly, increased global attention to the devastating
effects of malaria has produced significant results, and
the burden of tuberculosis has declined, thanks to
effective prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

10. 7 Ensure environmental
sustainability
• Deforestation has slowed, but global greenhouse
gas emissions continue their upward trend.
• In recent years, the net loss of forest area has slowed,
due to both a slight decrease in deforestation and an
increase in afforestation. Deforestation, forest
degradation and poor forest management release carbon
into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
• A continual rise in greenhouse gas emissions is projected
to further warm the planet and cause long-lasting
changes in the climate system, threatening severe and
irreversible consequences for people and ecosystems.

11. 8 A global partnership for
development
• Official development assistance to least
developed countries increased significantly
over the MDG period.
• Official development assistance has plateaued in
recent years, after increasing significantly in the first
decade of the new millennium. Imports from
developing countries, especially from least
developed countries, increasingly receive
preferential treatment from developed countries.
• Greater funding and innovation are crucial to the
implementation of the post-2015 development
agenda.
